This Month in InDesign Articles, April 2019
Everyone has been wondering how the final season of Game of Thrones will end, but to my mind it’s obvious: John Snow gives up the sword, learns InDesign, ends up at The InDesign Conference, becomes a power user, and takes over the 7 kingdoms. After all, we all know that InDesign is mightier than the white walkers, right?
In the meantime, while we wait to find out if I’m right, here are some articles for you:
- Did you know that Envato Elements has over 3,000 InDesign templates you can choose from? For a relatively low fee, you can get “all you can eat!”
- Frustrated that 100% in InDesign doesn’t result in exactly the right size on screen? You need this script!
- If you’re into scripting or developing tools for InDesign, you definitely need to read: The Future of ExtendScript Development: A VSCode Plugin and also this: Adobe has open sourced their Spectrum UI CSS.
